Phospholipid liposomes and prolactin secretion: effects on spontaneous and drug-induced hyperprolactinaemia. 1982

P Falaschi, and A Rocco, and R D'Urso, and R Jellamo, and I Toffano, and G Frajese

Bovine brain phospholipid liposomes (BC-PL) reduce plasma prolactin (PRL) levels in humans after acute administration and counteract the metoclopramide- and sulpiride-induced hyperprolactinaemia. However, BC-PL, like nomifensine, a dopamine (DA) reuptake inhibitor and therefore an indirect dopaminergic compound, does not influence TRH-induced hyperprolactinaemia. Moreover, BC-PL and nomifensine reduce plasma PRL levels in hyperprolactinaemic PCO syndromes but not in PRL secreting pituitary adenomas. The results obtained indicate that BC-PL antagonizes the DA blockade-induced hyperprolactinaemia and that the main site of action of BC-PL seems to be at the hypothalamic level; however a concomitant pituitary effect cannot be ruled out.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D011388 Prolactin A lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). It is a polypeptide of approximately 23 kD. Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation. Prolactin receptors are present in the mammary gland, hypothalamus, liver, ovary, testis, and prostate.
